Gramin 2011

Facebook, seems to be all the rage
You don’t exist, if you have no page
You gotta be careful, about what you write, for all to see
Cause one day it may come back, and bite you in the tush-ee
Crashing thunder, earth shaking noises, and violent tides
Dark clouds and lots of hot air, blowing from all sides,
No, not signs of global warming, in the meteorological profession
It’s just typical signs, that our Knesset’s in session.
Haman may’ve been right when describing Am Yisrael
That we are separate and different from other nations, as well
While there’s global warming in all lands, and the 7 seas
Only our own State of Israel, has declared a building freeze
Surprise, surprise, the Lite Rail’s up and running
Which, after all this time, is really kind of stunning
It finally goes up and down Yaffo – dozens of times a day
But when they’ll actually take some passengers, no one will say
Try as we may - it’s just a total waste of time
Cause the name Zuckerberg - is just impossible to rhyme
And as we consider all his billions - what we wonder is this:
Is he really truly happy? - yeah, he probably is.
Today’s kids are so confused; they should really spin a groger
Whenever there’s a mention, of the name - Lady Gager
Instead of emulating our greats, like Rabbi Akiva
They’re going off to concerts, starring Justin Beiber
For Mubarak, Kudafi and Tiger Woods, all was once fine
Then that all suddenly changed - beheref ayin,
They should have learned from Haman, in whose dying breathe did say,
"You mess with B’nei Yisrael, and one day, you pay."
To us, natural disasters are certainly not new
Tzunamis, earthquakes and Shimon Peres, just to name a few
But we continue to hope for true peace, and plenty of rain
And the coming of Meshiach, bim-hey-rah be-y-am-enu, ahmen.
